Dear Scott,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback with us.
You are absolutely right; our hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of London. Many of the West End theaters in London are just a short walk from the hotel. You can see Motown The Musical at the Shaftesbury Theater, a classic musical on 42nd Street in Royal Drury Lane. The legendary London Palladium is currently showing the acclaimed Lincoln Center Theater production of The King And I, the highly anticipated Tina Turner musical now conquering the West End! The official stage musical by music legend Tina Turner is now playing in the Aldwych Theater. Perhaps the ultimate goal for a ballet or opera fan is to visit the fabulous Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, which is less than 10 minutes' walk from the hotel.
We are thrilled to read your kind comments and compliments, especially about our amazing team, who strive to go the extra mile to exceed all of our guest's expectations.
We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to London.
Kind regards,
Tolga Ersen

We only stayed for one night. The room was conveniently located, and surprisingly quiet for being in the heart of downtown. The air conditioning was great and bed was comfortable. We had limited interaction with the staff due to our short stay, but the interaction we had was great.

We stayed in a standard twin w/twin beds pushed together. Room wasn’t huge, but still plenty of room & storage galore...nice sized closet w/adjacent 4 shelves, 4 drawers in desk & 3 roomy bathroom shelves. 5 day stay for 2 and I was able to completely unpack. Room was very clean, AC worked wonderfully, beds were very comfortable & we had a huge walk-in shower. Location is ideal & the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating & friendly, especially those who worked in the lounge/bar area. You won’t be disappointed.
